Abstract

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a first light emitter comprising first light emitting circuitry configured to output light of a first wave bandwidth, a second light emitter comprising second light emitting circuitry configured to output light of a second wave bandwidth, a camera including an image sensor configured to arrange one or more first pixels for sensing the light corresponding to the first wave bandwidth and the second wave bandwidth and one or more second pixels for sensing the light corresponding to the second wave bandwidth, and a processor. The processor may be configured to control the electronic device to output the first wave bandwidth light using a first light source and the second wave bandwidth light using a second light source, and a control circuit electrically coupled to the image sensor and connected to an application processor through a designated interface. The control circuit may be configured to obtain image data of an external object using the camera from the first wave bandwidth light and the second wave bandwidth light reflected from the external object, to generate first image data of the external object using a diff…
